SportsFilter: The Thursday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Holy crap, hope the Niners find some way to split the difference (but knowing the NFL, they won't/ the league will tell them not to).

I just have to ask who the hell writes a contract that triples a guy's base salary if he comes to workouts.

If I were the Sixers GM, that's how I would have structured Iverson's contract.

From the team perspective, it makes a lot of sense, as it creates a massive disincentive to skipping OTAs as part of a hold-out.

Niners CB Tarell Brown decided to do his offseason workouts at home instead of at the team facility. I mean, it wouldn't cost him $2M to do that, right? Oh, it totally would.
